Ratings and Reviews
Saved me hundreds of dollars!!
This is the one app that has easily saved me hundreds of dollars - probably more than all the other cash saving tricks like shopback, cashrewards, loyalty programs like flybuys qantas and ozbargain combined.
Kudos to the team. Your service is helping to keep a roof (at least a rented one) over the heads of overtaxed Australians and that’s something God will bless your entire team for!!!
Technically - the map freezes for a bit when zooming out and panning because of the huge amount of data it is fetching in the background. But I am happy to wait patiently as it’s totally worth the wait. Combining the pins while leaving the lowest price pin alone is genius!
A Must Have
The ridiculous merry go round of fuel prices can cost unwary motorists a few thousand dollars a year, if they have to pay over inflated prices for exactly the same fuel.
FUEL WATCH provides a very descriptive website, aimed at
notifying drivers of local petrol stations’ pricing index.
If in the event a nearby outlet has suddenly rocketed up in prices, there is still the probability to locate another nearby pump that has stalled it’s own prices, making a quick visit very worthwhile.
Filling an 80 litre tank at $1.22, then seeing the price change to $1.67.....do the sums, you have saved $36 for precisely the same product.
Terrible - it forgets the little guys
Terrible app. Deleted it within 5 minutes as it didn’t list my preferred fuel type which is diesel. It only provides the bigger stations and only shows unleaded prices. When you click into one of the stations it doesn’t show any diesel lists despite my having diesel selected as my fuel type. This is useless to me.
Further the app doesn’t take into account all or any of the small independent fuel providers ie non “brand” providers, in some cases it even forgets the “brand” providers, if they’re independent. I know of at least one United station that is independent and is not on the app. With this country drivers cannot check pricing here and are driven to the monopoly of providers. Quite often I found the smaller independents to be cheaper.
Im sure it wouldn’t be hard to add these to your app as I would presume fuel providers would need to be on a registered database as they have dangerous goods on-site.
I’ll stick to my Google searches for fuel pricing as it provides all that I need that this app doesn’t.
The only thing stopping a 1 star rating is it displays stations on the map.
